Construction Newsletter No 3 April 2013
Welcome to the third quarterly newsletter
aimed at keeping you up to date with
construction works at Black Rock Quarry,
Portishead.
This newsletter provides details of key
milestones, general progress and information
on construction activities and events. We
hope you find this newsletter useful and
informative.
Latest News Work is progressing well on site and the steel
frame and roof works are now complete,
meaning the building is now water tight. Over
the coming months the following works will be
taking place:
• The gabion and cladding installation will commence early April which means the final appearance of the building will start to take shape
• The bio-diverse roof will start installation at the end of April, supporting the growth of several species and enabling the building to blend into its surroundings
• The internal fit out has now commenced and will continue throughout the project
• The incoming service connections will commence in May and the impact of this on Valley Road will be kept to a minimum. Further details will be released separately closer to the time
The site hours continue to be 0700 to 1800
Monday to Friday.
We remain on target for building completion
by July 2013.
